The breath of Hemlock
It's a sunny, cool fall day. I put on a warm sweater and take my rain jacket with me as a precaution - you never know how the weather will behave. Then I make my way to Hemlock Lake. There's not another soul for miles around. How nice, I think to myself.
I look out over the lake as a salty, mineral, aquatic breeze comes towards me. It feels like a sea breeze, almost as if a whale is greeting me, perhaps it's the algae that is now growing in the lake and giving the wind this spicy note.
I sit down on the shore. The smell of damp stones reaches my nose: mineral, tart, cool. The sun shines gently on my body and I enjoy the last rays before winter returns. With my eyes closed, I take in the floral notes of the flowers at the edge.
When I open my eyes again, I watch the fish in the lake and play with a piece of driftwood that washed up a few days ago. It exudes a dry, creamy scent. In combination with the sun, the scent now seems a little warmer and brighter.
But in the end, the air remains harsh and dry, just like the lake itself: clear, cool, with a quiet depth.
The breath of Hemlock Lake - captured in a small bottle. What secrets does this lake hide?

At first, Hemlock is cool, mineral and salty. The aquatic breeze is more reminiscent of the sea than a freshwater lake, probably due to the algae note in combination with the ambergris, which adds spice and a slight astringency. The black tea remains in the background for me.
After a short time, the fragrance opens up into spicy notes. Dry tobacco, nutmeg and clove reinforce the tart, dry direction. Patchouli brings a woody depth, like the trees around the lake. Frangipani flashes in between, creamy and floral, like a brief ray of sunshine that brightens the mood for a moment.
In the drydown, Hemlock remains dry and tart, but also warmer and softer. Amber and balsamic notes add a subtle depth and round off the austerity. The wood is creamy and dry at the same time, almost like driftwood on the shore.

My conclusion:
For me, Hemlock is a rather cool, tart fragrance with a mineral-salty undertone. It thrives on contrasts: cool vs. warm, tart vs. creamy, dry vs. soft. In the end, the image of a clear, calm lake in autumn remains: mysterious, earthy and infused with a quiet warmth.
For me, this is one of the most aquatic fragrances I have ever smelled from an Artisan house. Very interesting: I didn't like it so much at first, but now it has something that keeps me coming back. A really special mystical lake!
